Judge Raymond Fawcett has just become number five. His body is found in his remote lakeside cabin. There is no sign of forced entry or struggle. Just two dead bodies: Judge Fawcett and his young secretary. And one large, state-of-the-art, extremely secure safe, opened and emptied. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne man, a former attorney, knows who killed Judge Fawcett, and why.
